I have been working at being a minimalist for the past twenty years!! And, it is freeing!! But, I have found that one of the most important parts of being a minimalist is letting go of your worries and demands. Clearing the mind is a big part of the process.

The Goodwill story definitely resonates with me. I’m amazed with just how routine the process of dumping stuff that’s only a few years old off has becoming. It’s almost like donating has become justification for buying more. I’m especially puzzled by this pattern in people near the retirement age who you’d think would be less inclined to buy new things.

Nevertheless, the mobile lifestyle trend in Millennials and Gen X-ers isn’t the only reason why they aren’t taking in their parents stuff. I think it has as much to do with these items no longer being stylish or on trend. After all I think we’d have a hard time finding a millennial who loves corduroy furniture.

Hello everybody! Thank you so much for being there. I am totally ‘in’ with living a minimalistic life. The thing is I am having a hard time trying to figure out how to live this way since I haven’t been a millionare before. I am a middle class worker and I live in Argentina. I don’t own my place, I have to pay rent every month and things are terribly expensive here and salaries are low. Things are tough and I need to work long hours in order to have basic and simple things. I cannot aford time to train or to chill with friends. Is there anything you reccomend? Something that I am not seeing? Thank you very much once again! Higs for all.
